My Yaesu FT-8800 has seen better days — life in an RV and constant portable ops means my radios take a beating. Instead of giving up, I turned to AI to help me find parts, diagnose issues, and bring this classic dual-band rig back to life.
In this video:
• What broke on the FT-8800
• How I tracked down parts with the help of AI
• Step-by-step repair process
• Lessons for fixing YOUR own radios
If you’ve ever wondered whether modern tools (and a little AI magic) can save an old-school ham rig, you don’t want to miss this.
